Q: Why did you choose the Tribe?
I chose the Tribe because of its excellent combination of challenging academics and competitive athletic program.
Q: Describe a moment when you felt the most Tribe pride...
I felt the most Tribe Pride when the Women’s Golf team won the home tournament during my freshman year.
Q: Take us through your pre-game mental preparation routine:
When I’m playing my best, all I have to do before each shot is simply take one practice swing, look at my target and hit the ball. I’m at my best when I let the course just wash over me and I almost become a part of it. The less I think about the mechanics of my golf swing the better I play.
Q: Do you belong to any other clubs, groups, or organizations?
No I do not.
Q: What are some community activities you or your team have done?
We have helped out with Campus Kitchen and I have helped out with ARC.
Q: What is your intended or declared major and why?
I have declared a major in Neuroscience and am premed. Neuroscience is an excellent major for those who wish to complete the premed requirements.
Q: Describe your dream job:
I would love to work with children at St. Jude’s Hospital.
Q: If you could play another sport at W&M what would it be and why?
It would probably be soccer. My cousin played soccer at Wake Forest and I would love to see if I could compete against him.
Q: Favorite team tradition/activity and why?
Getting dinner after practice since it is a great time to just relax with the team.
Q: Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years and why?
Brielle Paolini, who graduated in 2010, probably will since she is involved in medical research.
Q: What animal would best describe you and why?
A German Shepherd since they are loyal, intelligent and usually fun to be with.
Q: What is your favorite quote or phrase?
As you walk down the journey of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round. Ben Hogan
Q: What is your favorite type of food (i.e. Chinese, Mexican, etc.)?
I love chocolate.
Q: Favorite place you have visited or traveled to and why?
Alberta, Canada. The scenery was beautiful and it was great to see animals in their natural habitat.
Q: If you could sit down for lunch with anyone in the world who would it be and why?
I wish I could somehow have had the opportunity to have lunch with Bobby Jones since he is one of the greatest golfers of all time and he juggled playing golf with starting a career off of the course. To talk to someone that accomplished on and off the course would be inspirational.
Q: Most addicting television show?
I don’t think I could pick just one.
Q: How will you change the world (or even just one person’s world)?
Hopefully by healing sick children.

I love animals and still debate whether I should go to veterinary school.

I like to think I’m personable and can relate to people easily.

I’m not an active enough twitterer to have a favorite person to follow.

People being late since I hate wasting time.

Lightening has always frightened me.
